Agile methods allow organizations to realize the benefits of products and potentially an earlier return on investment while products are being developed and improved

Improved communication by encouraging the use of common terminology across PRINCE2 and Agile disciplines

Develop a clear definition of how Agile can govern a project’s delivery, whilst PRINCE2 governs projects as a whole

The perfect combination of complete control, allied with true flexibility – by adopting the tried, tested and, crucially, proven processes of PRINCE2 with Agile, you literally ensure that your organization adopts the best of both worlds

Seamless integration: PRINCE2 Agile will complement PMBOK and APM Body of Knowledge in exactly the same way that PRINCE2 does currently. It will also be of interest for programme managers with MSP® who will need to understand how projects relate to the delivery mechanism

The most up-to-date and relevant view of Agile project management methodologies. Other methodologies, such as APMG AgilePM, could be said to be 5 years behind the times as it does not reference the ‘flow-based’ working featured in Kanban.

Why would I want to take PRINCE2 Agile when there are other Agile project management qualifications available?

PRINCE2 Agile is the only Agile project framework covering the full spectrum of Agile, including SCRUM, Kanban, Cynefin and Lean Startup. Unlike other Agile PM methodologies, PRINCE2 Agile explains how they work and how to incorporate them into a project environment, i.e. APMG AgilePM references SCRUM and covers where but not how it should be applied.

Isn’t Agile an IT delivery tool? I don’t work in IT so I don’t have interest in Agile.

Whilst Agile is mainly associated with IT delivery, but it is essentially about creating a way to provide new products and deliver new services to customers, and this is fundamental to most organizations. PRINCE2 Agile can be applied to any project, of any size, in any industry sector, it is certainly not purely IT or software focused.

Does PRINCE2 Agile have any real worth?

Absolutely, PRINCE2 Agile has been created specifically in response to demand from the best practice community; and secondly, it fills a vital knowledge gap – affording those certified with the insight and key knowledge of the world’s two most popular project management techniques.

Why should I take the PRINCE2 Agile qualification if no one ever knows I’m qualified?

Once you become certified, you’ll be asked if you want your name to appear on AXELOS’ Successful Candidate Register – accessible by employers and potential employers alike and ensuring that your knowledge of this vital new qualification is clear for all to see.

Won’t the cost of taking the new qualification be prohibitively expensive?

No. The cost of PRINCE2 Agile training and examinations will be relative to other invaluable project management guidance methods. Plus, the ongoing value to an individual or organization will more than offset any initial costs associated with attaining the qualification.

PRINCE2 Agile doesn’t relate to the wider PPM portfolio – so why do I need it?

Simple. Because PRINCE2 Agile is being offered as an extension qualification for those who already have a good understanding of PRINCE2, it relates directly to programme managers with MSP who will need to understand not only how the programme relates to the projects, but also how projects relate to the delivery mechanism.

Won’t this new qualification make the existing PRINCE2 qualification redundant?

Not at all. If anything, the introduction of PRINCE2 Agile makes PRINCE2 more vital than ever before. Because PRINCE2 Agile is aimed at supporting PRINCE2 practitioners working in an Agile environment, prior knowledge of PRINCE2 is required; thus the PRINCE2 Practitioner certification is required to be able to take this new qualification.

For existing PRINCE2 practitioners, PRINCE2 Agile is the most applicable route to build on their existing knowledge, as they’re already familiar with the terminology, such as role names, product names and process names
